Description
Wild Harvested Organic Chaga Mushroom is made the famous and rare medicinal fungi that grows on birch trees. It is unique among medicinal mushrooms and possibly one of the most important anti-aging supplements yet discovered. Like all medicinal mushrooms, it contains the non-linear, complex polysaccharides, which gives the mushroom immune system boosting properties. However, it also has an extremely high ORAC value, which is a measure of the antioxidant strength.
Wild harvested organic chaga mushroom contains melanin compounds that nourish the skin and hair. The betulin and betulinic acid compounds, similar to the triterpenes found in reishi, also have immune strengthening properties. The fungi that must be wild crafted, as only those mushrooms harvested from living birch trees will have the full range of the active compounds. The chaga mushroom sold here contains the guaranteed levels of all the active compounds described in the scientific research, including the non-linear polysaccharides.
Function
People take wild harvested organic chaga mushroom powder for variety of reasons.
- Immune System. The birch mushrooms are renowned for their immunomodulatory properties, which may help strengthen the immune system and enhance its response to pathogens. Compounds like beta-glucans stimulate immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, to defend against infections and diseases.
- Antioxidant. Chaga mushrooms are packed with antioxidants, including phenolic compounds like flavonoids and melanin, which help neutralize harmful free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. By combating oxidative damage, Chaga extract may support cellular health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Anti-inflammatory. The mushroom extract possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes. This may help alleviate various inflammation-related conditions, e.g. stomach-intestinal tract.
- Adaptogenic. Chaga mushrooms are classified as adaptogens, meaning they may help the body adapt to stress and maintain homeostasis. Regular consumption of the extract may support adrenal health, reduce stress levels, and improve resilience to physical and mental stressors.
- Gastrointestinal Health. The fungi extract may promote digestive health by soothing gastrointestinal inflammation, protecting against gastric ulcers, and supporting a healthy gut microbiota. It may also aid in the treatment of conditions like gastritis, reflux, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Liver. The hepatoprotective effects of chaga mushroom extract may help safeguard the liver from damage caused by toxins, alcohol, and oxidative stress. By enhancing liver function and promoting detoxification pathways, chaga may support overall liver health.
- Heart. The chaga mushrooms may contribute to cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and preventing the formation of blood clots. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may also protect against atherosclerosis and improve circulation.
- Skin. The extract is often included in skincare products for its potential to promote youthful-looking skin. Its antioxidant content helps combat oxidative stress and UV damage, while its anti-inflammatory properties may soothe skin irritation and improve conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The melanin compounds it contains that nourish the skin and hair.
- Anticancer Potential. Preliminary studies suggest that chaga may exhibit anticancer properties by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Compounds like betulinic acid and polysaccharides have shown promising results in laboratory studies for their ability to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Chaga contains an extraordinary amount of SOD (Superoxide Dismutase). SODs are enzymes that keep cell membranes supple and healthy. SOD enzymes decrease as we age, depending on genetic predisposition.
